You might try different saw blade angles, too. windswept Foame caritate Router Table Dovetail Key Jig Woodworking Project. Sand flush.īy varying the number and placement of the splines, you can come up with other designs. Trim them off at the surface with a flush-cutting saw or a dovetail saw followed by a chisel. Spread yellow glue on the splines, slip them into place, and let the glue dry. Then, cut individual splines from the strips, making them slightly longer than the slots. Match its thickness to the kerf - usually 1/8". Rip spline stock from the edge of a board of contrasting stock, as shown in Photo B. Slide the fence between cuts to set the board against the stop.Ĭut the top slot in each corner, adjust the fence, cut all four middle slots, adjust again, and do the bottom slots. If one pass won't produce enough spline stock, clamp a stop to the table before ripping. Hold the workpiece firmly in the jig, and cut as shown in Photo A. When you're satisfied with the design, place clear packing tape around the workpiece corners to reduce chip-out. Now make the other slots, readjusting the fence between cuts. Set your jig against the tablesaw rip fence, place your marked scrap in the jig, and adjust the fence to cut a test slot.
Tilt the blade to 15°, and raise it so that it extends about halfway into the mitered corner. (We used an outside blade from our dado set.)
#MITER SPLINE JIG PLANS INSTALL#
Install a blade in your tablesaw that produces the flattest possible kerf bottom. Here we're holding the bottom of the tray to the left, so the slots will point downward. Then, mark three evenly spaced spline locations on a piece of scrap the same width as the tray side.ĭouble-check the orientation of your work-piece before cutting. First, make a simple spline-cutting jig for your tablesaw, as shown below. Just install the splines at an angle, as we did as shown here on a Maple-and-Walnut Letter Tray, and you get eye-catching results.
